The Shift to Streaming

The future of how we watch sports could drastically change by 2021. When broadcast TV rights expire, will the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB continue with the existing models or will they look to disrupt? Will traditional media companies like CBS, Fox and  ESPN maintain their dominance or will platforms like DAZN, Amazon and Facebook take over this space? If more fans move away from TV and move towards streaming will this be the collapse of the TV ecosystem as we know it? Bloomberg will pinpoint what to anticipate in sports media’s digital transition game.
